Forester green
I have a patina blend to do. Does anyone know if there is a store bought paint that comes close to our 1950 forester green? I know I can get it mixed but was hoping to find something close and ready to go. Oil base is fine for what I have to do.

Re: Forester green
forester green is the darker green right? if so I had a 41 with that color and it was really close to charleston green rustoluem.

Re: Forester green
I think I will buy a can. The green I put on firewall isn't as dark as I'd like.

Re: Forester green
I've been searching the last few minutes. Looks like it's no one has it. Home depot will send me a box for 25 bucks for a pack of 6 cans.
I think I will order it though. I want a nice dark green.

Re: Forester green
Just left Ace hardware. They didn’t have it but can order at no additional cost.

Re: Forester green
The Ace deep Forrest is nearly an exact match. Circled in red is the deep Forrest.
Circled in yellow is where I buffed the original green! |
